Brian's 789-128 and 1202-118 using HV taps for 420v on the plates of the xf3s (I have some xf2s but these testing ones dropped in biased up nicely and sounded so good! I have Mullard 163 in V1 and V2 and NOS Brimar in V3, NOS Mullard GZ34.

Thanks. The three pins I bought a while ago from DrTron on ebay (I bought x3 IIRC) the 5 pin came from a PP member in the Vox section. The numbers are worn off but realistically I use 240v and 16ohms so they rarely change.

Hope to spend some time burning it in but although we all have a honeymoon this sounds great out of the box, remarkably like the original. I plan on doing a bit of AB ing with the two to see how they compare under close scrutiny. Unfortunately I only have one Alex, one Hotplate and one Motherload elemental and cranking these at home without attenuators will require my family going out for a while even out in the annexe!!
